my case is open not closed and if increased fan speed it will become very noisy. is it suppose to be like 75c or under that number ? all reviews say that




Meh... Pascal is *very* efficient... GPU temps even at full-load [99 percent gpu usage] is scary to see over 72c IMO. 

Are cables from case and PSU or other stuff covering your GPU or something?



My sound blaster z is covering my evga card, it is x1 pci and I can not move it to the other slot because my noctua cooler is very big and take the first pci x1  slot

Well, Sajin's chart wins.

I'd try to make some changes in that case of yours... Unfortunate that you need that sound-card tho... Hmm'z

GTA V or Mad Max does not reach that temp it is only Mafia 3

I have like 40 fps only in mafia 3 at FHD !!

Your card is running into its throttle point. That chart with max temperatures is all fun and good, but if Nvidia cards (ever from Kepler onwards, so since 2012) run past 80 C they will start running at considerably lower clocks unless you've done some specific core overclocking, and they will try hard to keep their temperature below 80 C.
 
The best temperatures for Pascal are below 50 C. That is impossible on air cooling, but with a regular blower style cooler Pascal really shouldn't get any hotter than 75 C - ideally, you'd want to shoot for 70 C tops to get the best performance out of your card. Go lower and you can clock a bit higher, but you'll only get that if you OC the card yourself.
 
FWIW, I would strongly suggest you find an alternative for the sound card of yours. Unless you're an audio enthusiast, most recent motherboard's onboard audio these days is more than OK.
 
Also next time you buy a GPU, avoid the blower style / reference coolers. They are absolute junk unless you have a really, really small case with little to no airflow (and as you can see, even then they aren't much good for your temperatures). Somehow EVGA manages to do worse on that reference design than Nvidia itself, as well. I've had an EVGA GTX 660 SC with a blower and it was similarly crappy.

I am selling this card and getting MSI, the cooler in this card is really bad and noisy it is a shame it has great price and cute shape !!

I suppose it is not the SC version, right? The non-SC is much hotter than the SC because of the heatpipes included. Anyway I (personally) would try to not reach 80ºC; my psicological maximum is 79
 
Up to 75% the fan noise is reasonable for me. From that point it increases the noise a lot with a "bigger multiplier". Making numbers, my GTX 1060 SC 6GB reaches 73ºC on Unigine Heaven with 70% fan speeds, and aprox. 66-68 ºC when playing games with 60-65% fan speeds. So if I were you I would do an iterative test with Unigine (As I think it will hit your GPU more than Mafia III) and I would try to have a maximum temp of 80ºC with 75% fan speeds. Even if the noise is not too high (for me), who cares about the noise when playing? With the volume of the game and the attention I put on it, I don't realise that my computer is doing any noise
 
PS: I don't know why you bought a non-SC version when the prices are almost the same. About changing to MSI... you will get less performance (less factory overclocked) for a higher price. The only positive thing is that it will be a bit (very little) more cooled. And maybe the same noise, because if it reduces the fan noise, for example, 4dB for one fan, you will need to add 3 more dB as they are two fans! (Equal noise levels add 3dB to the single level). But it's your decision.

I moved my sound card to another slot and temp now is 78c in mafia 3, mafia 3 is the only game that has low fps !!

So wait...it wasn't EVGA's fault that the card was getting hot...it was how you built your system??
 
Are you still selling the card?

no I will keep it
